“Life is a song, sometimes we cry it but mostly we must sing it” – Gunther

(When I was seriously challenged in my life, this is a saying that kept me standing).

Who is Günther Tonitz?

I love to read and have a vast subject list that interests me.

I am a husband, a father and love to spend time with my family. My primary relationship with my wife is precious, as is my relationship with God.

I have been living in the same community for the last 30 years.  Being part of the local church and schools, is a privilege and I enjoy my time spent there.

I started working in my father’s business when I was 12 years old, as his travel partner, tool assistant and computer trainer.  

This extended to Power Transformers in later years, as his business interests grew. I treasure the valuable lessons and relationships that I experienced with him.

Power Transformers is an extension of my family and community. 

Managing people always brings with it certain stress factors.

Having a fun and creative hobby is a good way of getting rid of built-up stress. I meet various and interesting people while pursuing my hobbies.

I have many hobbies, like motorcycling, gas model car racing, silhouette shooting and light sport aircraft pilot.  I also enjoy boating, water sports and Sailing.   I have  also completed the Double Century Cycle Tour and The Cape Town Argus Cycle Tour.

What qualifications do you have?

I have a National Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Heavy Current) from Cape Technikon.   I have also competed various vocational courses.

What is your life goal?

To be the best husband, father and provider for my family and through this serve my community and God.
